Charles Frederick Myring - East Surrey Regiment

Discussion in 'Searching for Someone & Military Genealogy' started by Bradley Walker, Mar 18, 2021.

  1. Hi,
    Was wondering if anyone had any information on my great grandfather, Private Charles Frederick Myring.
    He was a motorcycle despatch rider in the East Surrey regiment.
    His army number was: 6145297
    He served in North Africa, Italy and Athens.
    Unfortunately he never really spoke about his time in the army as he saw some very horrific things.
    I also know that he received 3 campaign medals.
    I would be very grateful if there's someone who has more information.
    Many thanks
    Bradley Walker

    1/6 East Surreys were in North Africa, Italy and then Greece. 1/6 East Surreys were part of 10 Infantry Brigade who were themselves in 4 Infantry Division. Follow 4 Infantry Division and you will see where he went.

    1/6 East Surreys had a major part in the Fourth Battle of Cassino in May 44.

    Regards

    Your best bet would be to apply for his service records from the MOD via these forms Request records of deceased service personnel you will additionally need a copy of his death certificate
